You are correct. This is more what I want. The other 4 people at the table should not be penalized because they don't want to micromanage a platoon of troops or summons. If the wizard wants a cool summon, that comes out of his action budget. Fluff-wise, you can make it work. Summon: you are...

Yes, but it is a corner case caused by an explosive mixture of class abilities and the Leadership feat. However, the more common scenario is that almost everyone has followers/pets/summons and while no one person is taking 75% of the round by himself, the time between a given player's chance to...

Exactly. The problem is not a "realism" issue, it is a fun issue. If one of my players is taking 75% of hte actions is a given round and making everyone else wait and deprive them of their fun, I am more than willing to ignore any "realism" issues that arise when the problem is fixed. As a...

Very nice... :)

Verys Arkon needs a round of thanks, that one document answers most general questions.

Culture is learned, and corporate culture is no exception. These articles deal with the saving of D&D and the creation of 3e, but the lessons remain. Ever since the designers have started talking about 4e they keep mentioning that they wanted to make it more fun and that they were paying...

I was jumping around the interwebs and found some incredible articles. The first describes the god-awful way that TSR was run into the ground, by one of the programmers for the CD-ROM Core Rules. It also describes the reason that the 3.0 Character Generator was a failure...

In the most recent podcast of The Tome, Andy Collins mentions that a wizard tossing a d4 Magic Missile at 1st level is iconic, but it is implied that the d4 will change over the life of the wizard. So it may be that while powers will be swapped out for other, newer powers as the character...

I wants it.... the precious.... You are just trying to drive me mad with the waiting, aren't you? I believe you. I was geeked reading your 4e monsters in the older thread. I am ready to just hand you my credit card and say, "One of everything, please." Is there anything you can tell us about...

The user interface needs to be cleaned up. It is cluttered and not intuitive. The "Coming Soon" links in the drop-down menus should go somewhere, even if that is a placeholder page, because that provides a reason for them to be there. I agree that the color scheme is unfortunate, but that can...

Thanks. :)

I'm sorry. I don't know what chat you are referring to. I am sure I missed something, but can you fill me in?

The intriguing thing is that the "nostore" page comes up for *everything*, including the News, About Paizo, and FAQ. They certainly have my interest, I hope it is a good pay-off.

Just a quick note to say that I am quite interested in a Reloaded version.

Ugh... if I am reading that correctly, it is most likely a pointer error (or an array error, or they listed the attributes wrong between the main() and subroutine). Being am IT guy, I give a lot of slack when it comes to stuff breaking on the web. IE vs. everyone else's protocols, different...

Monster Manual Art Posted By: WotC_GregB, 3/14/2008 2:27:59 PM I just finished looking through the final version of the Monster Manual and all I can say is...wow. I'd spent time working on the Monster Manual weeks ago, but that was before there were pictures. Now that the product is complete...

Lootz Posted By: WotC_GregB, 3/13/2008 5:24:12 PM I haven’t written one of these in quite some time, so I thought I’d jump back on the blogging bandwagon. Here’s what’s been going on at my desk: Magic items, magic items, magic items. I’ve been working on Tome of Treasure, creating vast tables...

4E on the DM's Side of the Screen Posted By: WotC_Rodney, 3/11/2008 12:42:33 AM It's been a wild couple of weeks since D&D XP. Lots of people are excited. The cynics are still cynics. D&D 4E is great, it's fun, it's a board game, it's a CCG, it's ruining my childhood. The opinions run the whole...

As a programmer, one thing that always gets me is trying to ensure that I have the most up-to-date files. To this end, it is useful if you include a version number in your post so people can know if they need to update their file. I know I would appreciate it. :) I was hoping someone would do...

Here is the system I am considering: Trauma System Sometimes felling the enemy pushes the body beyond its limits This can mean taking wounds that fester, bones setting poorly, or muscles straining under the demand placed on them. These pains do not go away easily, but a veteran knows he has...
